Trudeau takes a tumble as his election campaign stumbles

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is stumbling through the final hours of his re-election campaign — literally.

In a video captured Saturday in Milton, Ontario, a waving Trudeau steps off a bright red Liberal Party campaign bus and strides jauntily along a sidewalk — directly into a knee-high urn filled with dirt.

The startled prime minister tumbles into the arms of a campaign aide as the planter crashes to the ground, spilling soil.

“Look what we did!” gasps a spectator as Trudeau rights himself and walks — much more sedately this time – into a Team Trudeau rally.

Trudeau is fighting to hold on to his job after a series of scandals, including the emergence of photos showing Trudeau wearing blackface makeup on three occasions in the past. Polls show his Liberals neck-and-neck with the Conservative Party ahead of Monday’s election.
